On my last trip to Reykjavík, I didn't want to miss Dagur Kári's last movie: Virgin Mountain (Fúsi). Dagur Kári is also the director of the fantastic Nói Albinói and the discreet but excellent The Good Heart with Paul Dano and Isild le Besco. Fúsi already received several awards, among them 3 at the Tribeca Film Festival. I was very lucky to get to see it with English subtitles in my favorite movie theater in Reykjavík: Bíó Paradís.

The story of this big guy who starts his life at age 43 is simply touching. Once he has a taste of it, nothing can stop him. Despite all the obstacles and setbacks, his big stature absorbs all the bad shockes and gives back tenderness in exchange. A must see movie! ....and with a friend, it's even better!
